Railroad track switch points stock photo
{"Image ImageDescription": "A switch or turnout point is the movable piece of rail that forces the train wheels to take a different path. Called a 'point' because of the thin point or taper on the leading edge of the rail.  Note both left and right switch points are shown. The point is subject to a lot of wear and these are spares located in a supply section of a local freight yard.", "Image Copyright": "RalphCoulter"}
